Some one once said the same thing about Sheikh Hasina, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Kim Jong-Il, Vlad III the Impaler, King Herod, Pol Pot, Bashar al-Assad, and Saddam Hussein.


Putting Assad in with that crowd is a bit silly, don't you think?


Curious, why not?

He sent me a variety of Trades, that I turned down. He asked why I turned them down, so I gave detailed reasons. My guys were better at the Positions he was trying to give me, my guys were Younger, I was stocking Picks for a Big Draft, etc.

He responded RESPECTFULLY to my reasoning.

In the end, we have done quiet a few Trades together, because I toss what I feel is garbage and move forward. He does drive a hard bargin, to be sure... but we all should. You've just got to be willing to use this awesome button called "Reject & Counter".


No one should have to 'know how to handle' anyone


Wife begs to differ ... Lol

Why not?

Should we all just have the same personality so no one has to learn about another person and their personality?

The only way to get around having to learn how to 'handle someone' is for us all to be the same. That world would ****.

I've never known Blackflys to 'fall foul of decorum'. I've only known him to drive for a hard bargin in Trade. He's never bereted me for declining or countering his offers, never cussed me, never insulted me.

Do you have instances of him 'running foul of decorum'?

I've had problems with blackflys for awhile with his constant berating of trades offers I've refused. Never mind the fact that you tell him constantly that you don't want to trade away a player, he'll still constantly give you multiple offers for that same guy for his garbage. Then belittle you for not taking his garbage. He is almost single handedly pushing me away from the game.

It was only once, but didn't you offer me some garbage for my 2nd year LDE that just came off a 36 sack season? No harm in trying, but I get lots of crappy trade offers.

Did I continue to send you the same offer or belittle you for not taking the trade? I'll answer for you, I did not. That's my point about him and my problems with him.

Oh, I know. I even said it was only once. There is a big difference. I was just saying there are a lot of crazy trade offers. To continue with that and belittle someone obviously is not a good thing for anyone.

However, I think ppl should try to offer better trades to begin with.

Ok then I have to ask is, why bring up a single offer I made to you to use as comparison to my problem with blackflys and what he does? I feel like you're trying to make a "pot calling the kettle black" argument.
